Do you have a citation for that? I was under the impression that was an "old wives tale". Human's often face huge temperature swings in winter. In fact we go out of our way to experience these swings with saunas and cold plun

Is there any irony in a thread on browser malware that includes a "please run this bash script blind"? Not that I don't trust you, but between now and when someone stumbles on this thread, your domain could expire and I could

These are mechanically linked controls. Literally the force of the other pilot is directly felt and observed. What force feedback in addition would you have in mind?

The legal right is for all of Tesla's suppliers, service providers, partners, etc are allowed to "sympathy strike". This effectively exiles the company from doing business in the country. Tesla is not a particularly large emp

Oh, it's not an "interesting idea" that we're teetering on the edge of not being able to differentiate between machine-generated and human-generated content. It does seem that our AI learning models simply mimic our own

It's not as "vapid" as you imagine. As an example; =maybe you have a family/friend group chat of 8 members and you're planning a birthday party or an event. If everyone is in the ecosystem, you can seamless share no

There's no moral hazard if we pay out depositors and let the bank fail. The big "problem" in 2008 was that the bailed out banks were made whole with equity injections and then continued to grow. (Although the government did q

There is zero precedent for clawbacks from on demand accounts at a regulated financial institution. This isn't even a "capital B" Bankruptcy, so I have doubts clawbacks would be legal. That would also throw gasoline on the fi

Do you work on my team? This is exactly how we're using Duckdb with Databricks as the massive data bulldozer and Duckdb as the scalpel.

Return for an Iphone 14 Pro or just Iphone 14. My partner did the same thing. If you don't want the big screen and fancy triple camera system, get the cheaper options. They will still be rocketship fast with long battery life and beaut

Wastewater facilities are almost always run by local government. I expect it takes time to get buy in for a project like this. I didn't see if there was a grant to cover the testing, but you at very least need a worker to package up sa

I disagree. I believe the intentions would start as a non-nuclear response, but would rapidly spill out of control into a full send of all weapons. This is the reality of the "Assured Destruction" of MAD. If you can take out you

I think we'd need to invoke article 5 to stop Poland from rolling up on Russia in that case. With the current hard-line politics and that absolute hate between the two, there is a hair trigger on that escalation.

The only distance between the Eastern European countries and the US is that the former want a stronger response, while the US is still leaving "escalatory" options on the table (ATACMS, Bradley based IFVs, Western Tanks, etc). T

There is no evidence Russia has a large inventory of useful standoff munitions. For example, Russian has been making extensive usage of s-300 surface to air missiles in ground to ground mode. While this capability was considered during desi

It certainly highlights the vulnerability of undersea pipelines to sabotage. If Russia had written off a restart of NS(1/2) this move further destabilizes the large EU economies, introduces fear and uncertainty into the political theat

No. They are talking about limited disruptions to limited areas due to planned load shedding. If your power and phone are out for 4-6 hours - is that going to suppress your ability to protest? I know I'm not supposed to do this, but is

They would make 7 different messaging apps managed by 3 different business units, disband 4 of them, combine the remaining 3 into 2, deprecate those 2 and create 2 new ones, combine those 2 into 1, then suggest a vague international standar

No politics? My fyp highly disagrees. However, the algorithm is amazingly good at keeping you in your political in-group. You'll often hear content creators talk about "getting on the wrong side of TikTok" - meaning they star

So much better said then my rambling screed above. People pick up on any excuse to avoid the diagnosis. Yes, the switch to plastic straws was stupid. Yes, the rich and powerful fly on planes and own yachts. We live in this imperfect world.

If this was the true concern of the Kremlin, why would they do the one thing that strengthens and enhances NATO in ways unthinkable even 6 months ago. The war in Ukraine is the rebirth of NATO; - Finland and Sweden on the fast path to joini
